Looking at Wang Yi and I see this story in which he writes a speech for Hu Yaobang. Now I am unfamiliar with the source but it appears to at least of some level of party approval. The source is already used to verify When he returned to China in March 1994, Wang was appointed as vice section chief of the Asian section of the foreign ministry and was promoted to section chief the next year. From August 1997 to February 1998, Wang was a visiting scholar at the Institute of Foreign Relations of Georgetown University in the United States. I am thinking to add more detail to the article but I am unsure of how this source should be used. It is possible that the story about him writing a speech is completely made up. I do not think there is anyway to verify that. However, maybe an attributed claim that is a bit more vague works like When interviewed in 2016, former colleges stated that he quickly gained recognition for speech writing.

From this same source I see the phrase "党叫干啥就干啥" which could potentially be one of those slogans that makes a worthwhile article ? Czarking0 (talk) 04:22, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

@Czarking0 That phrase is worded very informally (wikt:啥 is a colloquial contraction of wikt:什么, which itself isn't very formal), so I am surprised to see it being used as a slogan. A brief web search doesn't turn up any excellent sources, but I haven't looked very hard and you may yet find some. I'm guessing this is a phrase that turns up sometimes in party-related documents, but won't be used much in very high-level, formal, official settings. Toadspike [Talk] 17:25, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

I am confused by your idea of formality here though maybe it is a good one. WP has articles like 6-7 (meme) which indicate informal phrases are included. I think the relevant guideline for this would be WP:WORDISSUBJECT. I have not seen sources for 党叫干啥就干啥 that would lead me to believe it passes this guideline though I also have not looked far. Czarking0 (talk) 00:53, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Ah, I'm not saying that we're not allowed to have articles on informal words. In fact, I rather appreciate articles like that! I meant that since this phrase is informal, it's unlikely to have much high-level party endorsement, and thus also unlikely to have enough coverage to meet the GNG. Toadspike [Talk] 07:56, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

I also see "王毅对群众工作也很重视". I curious about this term "群众工作" which google puts as "mass work". I assume this related to the mass line which has a section about the revival under Xi. First, I want to see what people think is an appropriate translation of 群众工作. I certainly have no problem calling it mass work since that is basically a literal translation; however, in English this is a meaningless jargon phrase. If one can say that 群众工作是习近平的群众路线. Then I think it would be ok to say mass work and pipe link it to mass line. Potentially this means the mass line page should say some more about this term.

Would anyone care to finish Draft:Nanko Historical and Geographical Society?

The article is finished, well formatted, etc. The topic is notable. But it is a translation of article from zh wiki, which contains copyvio text. It needs to be rewritten to eliminate close paragphrasing of the source cited. Would anyone care to help? (It is an article transalted by a student of mine few months ago). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:55, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.

I found these two: [1] and [2]. For some reason they don't appear when clicking on the JSTOR search link. I'll try to figure out where or how to best add them to the article. AwerDiWeGo (talk) 14:30, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
